We explored the effects of vitamin C on leg cramps in a group of 60 pregnant women through a double-blind trial. Participants received either calcium or vitamin C (1 g twice daily) as treatment. Our observations revealed that there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two treatment groups.
Notably, 14 patients experienced complete relief from symptoms, while 27 reported significant improvement regardless of which treatment they received. Unfortunately, 17 participants found their symptoms unchanged, and only two noticed an increase in leg cramps during the treatment period.
Throughout the study, we measured serum levels of total and ionized calcium, total magnesium, and albumin, but these parameters did not show significant changes in either treatment group. We also didn’t identify any biochemical differences when comparing the effectiveness of vitamin C and calcium for alleviating cramps.
Ultimately, our findings suggest that vitamin C may not be an effective solution for leg cramps in pregnant women, as both treatments yielded similar results with minimal biochemical changes.

Caused skin issues

This form of vitamin C has caused me numerous issues. It resulted in spots on my buttocks, which eventually spread to my legs and arms. The itching was unbearable. After 10 injections, the itching subsided and the spots began to heal. Three months later, the dark marks from the spots persist. This experience has been terrible for me concerning this vitamin, and it's my first encounter with such a reaction.

Eliminated bruises
I've finally waved goodbye to the bruises on my legs. This vitamin C really works. I took it twice daily with meals for a month, and the bruises ceased to appear. The formula contains quercetin, which is excellent for veins, although the dosage is low. I plan to take a break and next time perhaps combine it with routine or quercetin. I hope my review proves helpful. Stay healthy!

Reduced bruising
I enjoyed using this vitamin C alongside flavonoids, which has been beneficial. After several months of usage, I've noticed a reduction in bruises on my legs.

Supports blood vessels
This is a sizeable jar, which is pleasing. I trust this brand, which is also essential. It has lasted me a year. I use it primarily for my gums (they bleed if I don't take it) and for my blood vessels, as the mesh on my legs is a concern I have addressed with vitamin C. It does work. If my review is helpful, please give it a like. Wishing everyone good health!
